[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jumbo222:
Hi sorry I am new but a long time lurker lol.

I have GingerVillain 1.0 on my HTC Desire (UK), and I want to update it to 1.2 but I was wondering do I have to wipe everything or can I keep my apps/theme/look and feel on my phone.

ie. My homescreen and the dock icons and power bar and the background and clock and notification settings etc. Or will these all have to be reset if I want to upgrade to GV 1.2

ANy help is very much appreciated
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lumsdon:
Since you are only upgrading to a newer version of the same ROM I would imagine you would not need to wipe everything. I would say just to do a backup using recovery (Just to be safe) and then install the update. I use CM7 and when I update CM7 nightly updates I don't need to wipe everything. Hope this helps you mate. :p
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meaple:

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidpost:
No need to wipe!

Works fine.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] street675:
started with ginger villain 0.8, updated to 0.9 and now still running 1.0 all without wiping between them.

Working fine without problems. Using villain setup.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jumbo222:
Thanks for the help, I did this and it worked fine :)

One further Q I do have though is that through the update I lost my battery mod. And I swear it was in the villain setup? But its not there now..

Basically is a circle battery mod, with the percentage in the middle and dots around it that dissapear as the battery discharges.

Any ideas what mod this is/what I could get to replace it...
[XPERIA X2 General] hwy7.fox:
So! Back in December 2010, I ordered a Zagg Invisible Shield for my significant other. It arrived in time for Christmas.

We noticed on the protector, before installation, while it was still on the original packaging sheet, there was orange peel, (for those who don't know, orange peel is a surface that looks and somewhat feels like the texture of an actual orange; small bumps.) There was also outlines on the front, to what looks like something heavy was set on the sheet either when it was manufactured, or packaged.

On top of that, there were in-prints of lines going across the protector, A 'square-shaped' in-print, from what looks like the same shape and size of either the solution bottle that it comes with, or the SKU SONERCX2FB sticker that they might stamp on the plastic bag while the protector is 'hot-off-the-press.

We were hoping once it was placed on the phone, it would smooth out, and go away... IT STAYED THERE. :(

It bugged him, there was rainbow effects, you can see the annoying inprints clearly while the screen is in use. THE SCREEN VIEW IS DISTORTED. Tilt the phone towards the right lighting, and you can still see them.

The protector isn't really smooth, it is soft, it does grab the stylus/nail. Creates a drag.

We made sure it cured for a day before using, to make sure the skin dries and adheres to the phone.

Its been couple months, and dirt has already found its way in the corners, started peeling, and has somewhat changed its color to being less clear.

GUESS WHAT? I decided to order another one in early February 2011, because I didn't want his new phone unprotected. I don't have patience for the exchange time period.

The new protector arrives. AND GUESS WHAT AGAIN??? IT'S THE SAME CONDITION AS THE FIRST ONE I ORDERED!! It had orange peel and line in print across the screen! Perfect 'square-shaped' in-prints! I didn't even bother to put it on.

STAY AWAY FROM INVISIBLESHIELD. I do not recommend this company AT ALL. Waste of money! Don't except anything better that GARBAGE.

Try Martin Field. http://www.martinfields.com/US/Print/MFOP-SEXperiaX2/en

Thanks for listening to my rant. :)

If course the pictures don't do justice, I tried.

I'm a Xperia X1i user, I recommend Shinomi (from Amazon.com) It pretty much covers the entire phone! (Camera lens, the sides, literally top and bottom of the phone.) Takes a while to install, but worth it. :)

[General Questions and Answers] DeCrAzYo:
I've got a rooted G1 running CM-6.1.0 stable. Because I'm too lazy to move numerous apps one by one to the SD card by going to system>applications>manage applications, i have decided to write a script that will move all non-system apps that are installed on internal storage to the SD card. This is what i have so far.

# list=$(ls /data/app/)
# for file in $list
> do
> dir=$(file%.apk)
> mkdir /mnt/asec/$dir
> mv /data/app/$file /mnt/asec/$dir/pkg.apk
> done

my problem is that other than moving the .apk files from "/data/app/" to the appropriate directory in "/mnt/asec/", i don't know what App2SD does. can someone please tell me exactly what other actions are preformed by clicking "move app to SD card"? once i know what it does, then i should be able to finish my script.

note: please do not respond by saying "pm setInstallLocation 2", anything regarding ADB pull/push/install, or by telling me to go install some app off of the market. i already have the install location set correctly, i don't always have a computer near me to use ADB, and I'm not going to waste my time waiting for some goddamn GUI to load just so i can do something that could surely be done more efficiently via a simple script. Thanks.
[General Accessories] bur2000:
Since the 8 gb card that came with my DHD is a little too small I'm looking for a 16 gb sd card.

I browsed through amazon's selection and found many bad reviews regarding data loss on several products. What brands are generally known for reliable SD cards? Sandisk seems to make good cards?

And another thing, I read that often SD cards are faster than their class. There were people that got transfer rates of up to 15 mb/s with a class 2 card. Apparently a class 2 card is basically the same as a class 6 card, just that in the latter case the manufacturer guarantees the higher speed while in the former it might be slower. Is that true?
[General Accessories] toiversen:
As for brands, I recommend SanDisk and Lexar. I've used cards from both manufacturors in all my cameras and phones for years, and I've never had a card fail me.
[General Accessories] lianopbs:
I got 2 Lexar in camera + phone : no problems so far :)
[General Accessories] joshbdoc:
+1 for SanDisk
[General Accessories] rickyzone:
Wikipedia quote

If I understand it write, the class rating is a sustained speed, so you may get faster speeds, but usually not.

Also from that same site, manufactures quote speeds, and not an independent testing company, so they may not always be honest XD

Secondly, Sandisk for 16 gig never gave me a problem. However, at 8 and 4 gig pny hasn't given me any issues either.
[General Accessories] joememe:
i wanted a bigger card a month ago and looked at both lexar and sandisk 16gb, i went for the lexar as it was apparently faster in the reviews and was only a tiny bit more expensive than the sandisk. and it has been perfectly reliable.
[General Accessories] bur2000:
Ok, thanks.

joememe, which reviews did you read? I found one lexar vs sandisk at nokiaguide.com and just want to make sure we don't both base on the same review. :)

Because if lexar really is better I'll spend the few extra €.

That's interesting and a good thing because standards like S-ATA 1/2/3, USB 1/2/3 and many others define the max possible transfer which isn't very userfriendly.

So I suspect that all cards of a manufacturer are essentially the same and get a class 4/6/10 rating after production according to their QA results. Like with a CPU you might get lucky and the card just barely didn't make it to 10 and thus get a very good performance class 6 card.
[General Accessories] raritan01:
I ordered a 16gb class10 Transcend card from Newegg and LOVE it. Lifetime warranty ftw!! I've tried returning Sandisk cards for warranty and haven't received a response in months...so not +1 for Sandisk if there are warranty problems.
[General Accessories] abanh:
I just picked up a Transcend 4gb class 6 micro sd from Newegg and it died within a day. Luckily Newegg is shipping out a replacement asap and I don't have to return the defective card.
[General Accessories] danw1million:
+1 for lexar 16gb class 6
[General Accessories] metalm:
Here's a link to the one I use. I own 8 or so of these and use them in cell phones, camera's, and even in a cam corder. I have yet to see one of them fail or have any sort of performance issues.

SanDisk 16 GB Class 2 microSDHC Flash Memory Card

Note that even though it's a class 2, in my testing with each of the cards I own, I have consistently gotten class 4 performance from all of them.

If you want something even bigger, the 32 GB cards have really come down in price. Here's a SanDisk for $71.

SanDisk 32GB MicroSDHC Card (SDSDQ-032G-A11M, US Retail Package)
[General Accessories] hacktock:
Isn't the price a bit too low? The one on Amazon has a bad review saying it didn't come in the retail package.

http://www.amazon.com/review/R4BG1JM1R3OKM/ref=cm_cr_pr_viewpnt#R4BG1JM1R3OKM
[General Accessories] sanseven:
andisk maybe the best choice
[General Accessories] zarathustrax:
IMO, Sandisk is definitely the best choice for a quality microSD. They always perform much better than their class rating. And the also are most consistent in getting good randon read, write and access speeds, which is much more important that the class rating when using the card in cell phones or for any task other than just large data transfer and digital cameras. Higher class cards only give higher sequential write speed, but usually are worse at random read/write speeds and access time than a class 2 or 4.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bigjim1488:
Came across this in another thread:

"Transmission of the short messages between SMSC and phone can be done through different protocols such as SS7 within the standard GSM MAP framework or TCP/IP within the same standard. Messages are sent with the additional MAP operation forward_short_message, whose payload length is limited by the constraints of the signalling protocol to precisely 140 bytes (140 bytes = 140 * 8 bits = 1120 bits). In practice, this translates to either 160 7-bit characters, 140 8-bit characters, or 70 16-bit characters. Characters in languages such as Arabic, Chinese, Korean, Japanese or Slavonic languages (e.g. Russian) must be encoded using the 16-bit UCS-2 character encoding (see Unicode). Routing data and other metadata is additional to the payload size."

I find it less of an interruption to send SMS. Many people don't like it, especially older people. Probably because they don't understand how to use it. Email, SMS and phone call all have their place.

There are times and places that I can't answer the phone. A text is sending the information or question that can be answered sometimes at the recipient's leisure or calling them to ask one question is a waste of effort. Also, going through the trouble of calling voicemail or listening to is can be too distracting depending on where you are. SMS is great if you're in a place that you have to have the phone completely silent, yet can still communicate.

Many times people are busy and can't talk on the phone. Okay, so I just called you and you said you couldn't talk. I have to call again to leave a voicemail. I just disturbed you twice just to ask or tell you something.

Email is good too for long ones but most people check it on a computer and there's no telling when that might be. SMS goes right through.
[Nook Color General] rcg8584:
So my original Nook went to the great gadget drawer in the sky. I was able use my SquareTrade warranty and they sent me a check for replacement. I am now debating between a NC and rooting it for an inexpensive tablet or going for a Samsung Tab. A NC is $249, while I can find a gently used Samsung Tab for around $400.

When the difference between the 2 was $300, the choice was a easier. Now that the difference is closer to $150, it is a bit more difficult. I currently have a MT4G rooted with CM7 RC1, but would like something a bit larger for reading, web access and watching movies. From my research, the NC is a good tablet, but seems it lacks a cohesive experience. The Samsung Tab is a better tablet obviously since it is meant to be a tablet. I am concerned about a Samsung product since they don't have the best record for updates, etc. What say you fellow XDA'ers, a NC or a Samsung Tab? How is the ereading experience on a Samsung tab? Thanks and kudos for everyone's help! :)
[Nook Color General] heldunder:
it all depends, if you have a tmobile? you could get a galaxy tab on sprint for 300 and 30/month and have service ware your phone doesnt.( that's alot of places since sprint has a much better coverage area) now, honestly if you dont care abotu the device having it's own connectivity? than go for the NC also keep in mind you get to text and do video calling on your galaxy tab. if all you're doing is reading? you'll be fine with the NC rooted, it has pretty good wifi range and the screen while not QUITE as nice as the galaxy tab, is still nice.

basicly, if you want the camera/connectivity, go with the galaxy tab, they are really nice.

if you dont need those things the NC if fine for you.

[Nook Color General] sprintguytexas:
I work for sprint, so i have some bias. I play with the tab daily and saw the nook and knew i wanted it. You can get a "overdrive" that does 3G/4G and duct tape it to the nook and you'd be saving money with more options. The tab does brick, but i haven't seen one person on here that says they bricked a nook. It might be that the nook doesn't have the camera, mic and gps to bring up any issues but i don't use those parts so why pay for them. Just a thought from my peanut gallery.

Hi - my Hero's !

Are U looking for a real hero ROM?

I totally agree with the quote from rdejager @ villainrom.co.uk/forum :

So - do U want to use the power of our long development journey in a fresh ROM?(based on WWE Android 2.1 with htc sense 2.1)

Good News:

-> Repack ROM from elelinux based on stock ROM 3.36.405.1!

-> VillainROM v13.0 Release * WWE * Android 2.1 *

-> other 2.1 roms

How do U tweak them? How du U like them?

Thankx for any helpful suggestions! :cool:
[Hero, G2 Touch General] iPasta:
http://www.ekg-clan.de/pasta/hrdb/index.php?site=a21 choose the one you like most ;) they are all good. but if you want only one named: Cronos 2.1.4.1 Sense Eclair
[Hero, G2 Touch General] o_tiger:
@iPasta: Thankx for the link - nice overview!

Like to try a 2.1 SenseROM again after spending a couple of months on Ginger & Froyo.

At first I want a speedy and stable build.

I have just tried to flash 7.0 v1.0 (Elelinux) - and no, it is still noticeably slower than Elelinux-6.2.0-RC0-Hero-Speedmachine rom (6.2). Slightly faster that 7.0 v0.9, but still far beyond 2.2. So; is it possible that a 2.1 feels again more faster?

Will report back my impressions - if U like!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Krizp0:
I would suggest Mr. Bang's 2.1 Sense ROM. It is, apart of Cronos, the latest updated 2.1 ROM, and is by far smaller in size (nearly 30 MB!). In addition FlyKernel-12a is a good choice ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] o_tiger:
@Krizp0 : Thankx! So:

Do U agree with:

"After a long time playing with 2.2-non-sense-ROM's, I returned to 2.1-Sense.

--> Nothing smoother than 'Mr. Bang's 2.1 Sense ROM' with FlyKernel 12a."
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Krizp0:
Well, I know I went from 2.3 Gingerbread to Mr. Bang's 2.1 Sense ROM and felt very satisfied with the speed and stability of good old 2.1, especially since Sense makes your phone full and not fragmented so you have to download widgets and other things to get it as you want. The only thing you may miss is the new functions and apps that require 2.2+.

Edit: I also encourage you to take a look at Tegro 2.5 RC3, it is very Sense-like, but I haven't tested it.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] rdejager:
If you want a rom that is A sense rom 2.1 for the HTC Hero GSM and build for it and that just works 100%.

Use Villainrom 12. You can customize it with their kitchen. It may be old, but that doesnt mean its crap :P.

I myself flashed FlyKernel 11C BFS over it and it works fine here :D.
